A man has been charged with the murder of a woman found dead by police and is expected to appear in court tomorrow.

A member of the public living in Lark Rise in Martlesham Heath, Suffolk, called police at around 8.55pm on Friday night reporting concerns for a person living nearby whose family could not get a response from the house.

Officers went to the house and found 39-year-old Jane Bartholomew dead inside the property, Suffolk Police said.

A post-mortem found that Ms Bartholomew died as a result of significant head injuries.
